You Saved My Life

Have you ever wondered how genetics research was able to provide answers to affected families, including in the case of cancer?

How do the researchers and individuals affected by cancer see this through their eyes and experience?

How did Newfoundland and Labrador families help with identifying the cause of certain diseases?

Take a look at this conversation with Derrick Bishop and Dr. Jane Green!

We talked about a lot of things – please enjoy this cozy and informative conversation πŸ™‚
